CAPIC DOUBLE VISION 2019

DEADLINE: Friday, February 1st, 2019

The Canadian Association of Professional Image Creators (CAPIC) is delighted to announce the Call for Participants for the annual Double Vision competition and exhibition! CAPIC Double Vision 2019 is open to all professional photographers, illustrators, and image creators across Canada. Double Vision is an exhibition that pairs participating image creators by random draw and challenges them to create portraits of one another. The completed works are then exhibited side by side as a single submission.

Double Vision is also a juried competition. All submitted works are to be judged by a panel of art professionals who will determine first, second, and third place winners. In addition, guests attending the opening night of the exhibition will select a popular vote winner. Prizes from our fantastic sponsors will be presented to all winners!

The Great Photographers: FINDING VIVIAN MAIER
This critically-acclaimed mystery-meets-biography shuttles from New York to France to Chicago in search of the late Vivian Maier, a career nanny whose previously unknown cache of 100,000 photographs has earned her a posthumous reputation as one of America’s most accomplished street photographers—and also an early master of the selfie. Using a treasure-trove of recently unearthed photos found in a garage sale, Finding Vivian Maier pieces together Maier’s life story, enigmatic personality and troubled past in an intriguing study of one of the great undiscovered talents of the 20th century.

Stick around for a Skype Q&A with Pamela Bannos, author of Vivian Maier: A Photographer’s Life and After-Life.
